5.1 PTR: New Daily Quests

Since we can't get enough of dailies on live, we're previewing the new faction dailies available in 5.1! The Alliance and Horde have landed on the shores of Krasarang Wilds, set up camp, and need your help in defeating the enemy. (This has been updated as of 11/28 with further daily specifics.)

Operation: Shieldwall and Dominance Offensive offer 5+ daily quests, which can either send you to your faction's base, your enemy's base, contested areas such as the Ogudei Shrine (Mogu's Command) or Blacksmith Oilfield (Oil Baron), or along the Krasarang shore. If you turn in many commendations (gotten from looting enemy NPCs), you can purchase items like Sturdy Crab Crate which start a short quest series and give you a 30 minute buff upon completion. Check out our complete list of commendation rewards, which do cool things like buff your allies or fortify your base, here.

There are four possible quest hubs you will be sent to: you can get 900 reputation a day before Grand Commendation of Operation: Shieldwall and other reputation bonuses are taken into effect. You can also do an additional Beastmaster group quest for +200 reputation.

Siege Damage: Find a Bilgewater Blasting Cap on a Bilgewater Sapper, and then plant it on a Domination Point Demolisher. *or* Tower Defense: Collect 20 Animatable Stone at the Lion's Landing Quarry from Bilgewater Goblins or by destroying stone slabs there with collateral damage. +150 rep.

Sentry Wards: Place Sentry Wards on the Docks, in the Town Hall, and on the Second Floor of the Barracks at Lion's Landing. +150 rep.

We Require More Minerals!: Collect 20 Animatable Stone chunks from the Lion's Landing quarry. Lion's Landing Engineers carry them, or you can destroy stone slabs with collateral damage to blow them into chunks you can carry. +150 rep.

Ruins of Ogudei

The Ruins of Ogudei is a breadcrumb quest that takes you to Sparkrocket Outpost. Here is how to reach the Daily Questgivers, from Wowhead comments:

To find the exit look for the stairs that lead up (in the main cave). If you are walking down the stairs there is a pathway (opening) that leads to Kaelis Sunsoar. Make a U-Turn at the bottom of the stairs (turn left) and you should see it. This is where you will turn in the quests and find Kaelis Sunsoar

For the love of god STOP with the dailies!Throw in more new level 90 dungeons, new bosses...but STOP with the dailies.

Don't do them.

Problem solved.

I don't, but you kinda have to in order to get gear to get into LFR. Kinda have to for new recipes.

The new dailies in kraserang are the only meat in 5.1. "Don't do them" is a facile, insulting answer, which makes sense because that's exactly how you meant it. We don't need to have the dailies discussion again in these comments but please respect that some people hate them a lot.

Yeah, World of Dailycraft is getting annoying.

What is annoying is people who complain about having to spend 15 minutes doing 5 daily quests.... and those 5 quests come out of a pool of 25 so it is not like you are even doing the same ones every day. If you do get the same ones, do a different faction that day.

My mind is blown by people who complain about these type of dailies. At what point did you start playing, because it obviously wasn´t BC... and what other MMOs have you played? because let me tell you, we have by far the best system. You have to do about 6 daily quests per day to keep up with lucky charms.... that is 6 dailies out of about 50 available.... very easy to avoid the ones you don´t like.

Really, what do you want to do... throw on a tabard and grind 100 heroic dungeons that are faceroll easy already where you are basically AFK while the tank does the work? WOTLK reps were the dumbest thing ever.. there was no gameplay involved. I would much rather do a few daily quests out of a pool of 300 than run the same 10 heroics every day.

It should be noted that all of the Alliance dailies at Lion's Landing are named after terms from Warcraft 3 and/or Blizzard RTS games in general; Supply Block, for example, refers to when a player cannot produce more units either because they have neglected to create more supply buildings or because the enemy has just staged an attack which destroyed many of them.

I already have 1k Lesser Charms.

Why not. I'm a crazy ^&*!er when it comes to dailies anyways.

These look pretty fun and now provides another thing to do.

Personally, by the time this patch drops Tuesday (sure, why not), this is the only set of dailies I will need to do as I'll have reached exaulted with AC and the rest of the factions in Mist. (Pat is a not a faction)

Now, what I haven't done is run any heroic D's since launch of MoP. So I'll pop my new tabbard on for the horde panderan faction in org and start repping up and earning my VP's for the week that way to supplement. 7 heroic's, 35 dailies and LFR for the week puts me over the weekly VP cap.

Gear...I'm at 480ilvl...I have no desire to seriously raid, but I do pug from time to time.

If you think the factions were designed to be done in the like 1.5 months everyone is complaining about: Wrong. Blizzard already said they were designed to be done over 2-3 months. Players CHOSE to smash them all in at once, cause the option was there. I did it too. I was done every Faction (except Nat Pagle) almost a month ago. Right now my dailies consist of 1 Cooking Daily and 3 Pet Battle Dailies (working on beating Northrend trainers atm).

5 more dailies a day? Cool.

Oh, and anyone complaining about rep because of gear: You have to honestly do HALF the work of anyone who wants the mounts from Exalted. HALF. If you want the mounts too, you make that choice, you can't complain because you made it either. Just cause the method of reping up isn't your style, doesn't make it wrong. How many people do you think hated having to run dungeons to get rep done in any sort of timely manner in WotLK or Cata, especially if they had zero need for the dungeons (or like early Cata, running PuGs was nearly impossible for Heroics)?

i Suppose if one does not like dalies they don't have to do them

You have to when you want the mounts and reputation achievements.

They could have easily offered the people who like to do dungeons a tabard to farm rep with the same daily cap dailies do. If you start your day off with a daily, the tabard for that particular rep doesn't work anymore until the next day. If you start your day off with a dungeon mob kill with the tabard on, the daily quests become unavailable until the next day.

Solved, and with choice of options to farm the rep.And yes, I would gladly give up the gold and coins of the dailies so I could farm the rep and NOT do anymore effing dailies.

The mounts and the rep will be the same for the WHOLE expansion --you dont have to have them right away --they arnt going anywhere . You can work on one or two factions at a time meaning only 10 or so dailies ( about 30 minutes worth ) or do a couple of different factions each day for even more variety.

You dont even have to do the dialies anymore for VPs --its easy to cap by doing all the LFRS and one or two dungeons each day .

You dont need the rep from dailies to get gear to enter LFR --the first lfr is ilvl 460 which is below a fully decked H dungeon geared person . two or three bits of gear from MVS lfrs then gets you into the rest .

SO there is NO need whatsoever to do every daily from every faction every day

Then doing dungeon once a day will still count as a Daily, and yet pretty much all dailies there is in Mop IS KILLING MOBS , and what do you do in dungeons ?, Ohh thats right KILLING MOBS AND 3-4 BOSSES, ppl these days doens´t use theirs brain to the fullest it seems....

Because people prefer different ways to do things?I can't say I'm a fan of dailies, but then again nor do I have 20+ mins per DPS toon to wait for a group + run time to run a random with a tabard. It actually suits me to be able to pop on and occasionally run a few dailies because some rep is better than nothing.

I'm also smart enough to realize that I don't NEED to do any, in fact my pally (all crafted gear + one Sha run with the boots a drop from a heroic and I'm good to go for LFR)

Dailies aren't mandatory, you run them because you WANT that scoprion mount, or WANT those BS plans, you don't NEED them.There are several ways to gear up in this game, running dailies is just one entirely optional, entirely skippable aspect of being raid ready.

I'm looking forward to the Brawler's Guild. Dailies - not so much. Of course, I don't do dailies since I don't enjoy them. I'd rather spend my time in dungeons and raiding.
